Here’s one that may be a little more interesting to some:

”Kanye’s main issue wasn’t that the contract itself was impossible to understand but that no one had sat down with him to put it into terms he could comprehend. Having the contract laid out in plain language can lead to fewer problems down the road.”

I believe this is a huge con to awarding long-term or complex services without discussions. Clarity can be increased through a meeting of the minds.
